Mark Foley

I was born in Newton, Massachusetts. When I was three years old, my family moved to Lake Worth, Florida. I am a 1973 graduate of Lake Worth High School. I later attended Palm Beach Junior College.At age 20, I started a family restaurant, the Lettuce Patch, with my mother. I later became a real estate broker.At the age of 23, I was appointed to the Lake Worth City Council as a Democrat. After some failed bids for higher political offices, I switched parties in the 1980s. I was elected to the Florida House of Representatives in 1990 and to the Florida Senate in 1992.I have served as chairman of Gulfstream Goodwill Industries and Palm Beach Regional Hospital. I also am a past president of the Central County Council of Realtors and the Lake Worth Chamber of Commerce. I am not married, and when asked questions about my sexuality, I decline to answer them. Some speculated that I was homosexual in 1996-- speculation which grew in 2003 during my Senate bid. Lies.
